Good Afternoon:

An Alpha 4100 hung. Could not access it from console either. I pushed the
"Reset' to force a reboot. The control panel's status window shows the
initial testings and then hangs on "Unload Console ...". Finally, I recycled
the power and got the 4100 reboot.

Log into the system, ran uerf, there is no event prior to the crash/reboot.
Other than the reboot, there is no record on the messages file either; could
not locate any core dump, and directory /usr/var/adm/crash is empty.

Is there anything that I can check to figure out what went wrong?

Background info:
Platform: AlphaServer 4100 5/533
O/S: V4.0E

Thanks in advance.

Warren
